Chapter 8

Caroline's POV

I woke the next morning with a familiar pain.
I shut off my alarm and slowly made my way to my desk.

Unlike most people I actually like Mondays. For my channel on YouTube I upload every Monday and Thursday.

I pulled up the filter to cover my face and began my intro.

"So the song I chose this week is .... Emeli Sande ~ read all about it !" I said excitedly.

Arranging my keyboard right in front of me i began to sing.

" You've got the words to change a nation but you're biting your tongue.
You spent a lifetime full of silence afraid you'll say something wrong.

If no one ever hears you how they gonna learn your song so c'mon c'mon.

C'mon c'mon you got a heart as loud as lions so why let your voice be tamed. Baby we're a little different there's no need to be ashamed......"

I sang the rest of the song with more emotion than I ever had. After uploading i realized I only had 15 minutes unit I had to meet Sam outside.

I grabbed a pair of white shorts and and a black blouse so it wasn't tight around my stomach.

The bandages were painfully tight around my stomach.

After grabbing my bag and slowly making my way downstairs. All I needed was an excuse to get out of gym.

"Hey girl! " sam said excitedly. She must have still been on a high from the message from Cameron.

"Your cover this morning was amazing." She said linking her arm with mine.

"You already watched it?" I asked surprised.
" duh and I'm pretty sure Cameron has saw it already to." She said with a wink.
We went on with our walk to school talking about what we should wear paintballing.

Cameron's POV

Honestly I could marry this girl right now.
I just watched her latest cover and you guessed it I tweeted her.

Nash walked in with a paint ball gun.

"Dude I'm so ready for Thursday it isn't even funny." He said jumping on the bed.

Of course being Nash the gun went off and hit the wall.
Normal people would be panicking at this point, but not us.

We put it on Instagram. We tweeted and snapchatted about it and you guessed it we made a vine about it.

In the back of my mind though I was still wondering witch girl was singing in the ballroom.


Caroline's POV

Well next class is gym and coming to the conclusion I can't play the I'm on my period card because I'm wearing white shorts.

I can't go to the nurse and say I'm sick because of obvious reasons.

So I lied.

"Umm Mr. Jones i can't do gym today. I have to make up a test." I said my voice quivering.

It worked really well actually. I just didn't know where to go.

I wandered the halls and just sat in front of my locker.
I decided to tweet cameron back since he tweeted to me again, well not me the girl in the shadows.


" @camerondallas glad you like my covers, I'm a huge fan😄🙌hope to meet you one day as well"

It's not what I wanted to say though. I wanted to say I'm all yours marry me, but you know it wouldn't have worked out for the best.

"Well well well look who we have here." Nicole the schools "popular" girl.

It sounds clique I know.

"Have you gotten paler, I mean come on where do you get your tan, a bucket of white paint." She said causing her little group of friends to laugh.

" no where did you get yours a Cheetos bag?" I said.

She looked shocked. To be honest I shocked myself. I've never stood up for myself.

It felt good.
She recovered herself and lowered to my level.

"Look I don't know Where this pathetic confidence came from, but it better leave .. Now " she seethed.

She gave me a small slap on the face. It stung but nothing compared to what my foster parents do now.

I just stood up for myself. And I can only thank Cameron for it.
